Practical guidance for international readers
For students planning to study in the USA
Begin with EducationUSA for admissions guidance and use the university’s own website to confirm accreditation, deadlines, tuition and scholarships. Visa eligibility and application procedures should be checked separately with the US Department of State.
For visitors and prospective immigrants
US tourist visas, student visas and immigration benefits are different processes. Consult the Department of State for visa procedures and USCIS for immigration benefits; do not assume a travel visa authorises employment.
For businesses and readers of US economic news
Use SBA resources for business guidance and IRS publications for federal tax matters. Government publications are authoritative for rules, while breaking developments should be cross-checked against the issuing agency.
